Never trust a 4 year old with scissors
It finally happened. My daughter cut her own hair.
My heart about skipped a beat when I saw the chunck of hair on the floor.
It is my fault because I trusted my 4 year old daughter with scissors. They are kid scissors even.
She is allowed to cut shapes out of paper as she does at school. I was on the phone with my mother walking around the house, when I re-entered the room I saw the big chunk of hair right there on the tile.
She didn’t even try to hide it. Apparently she wanted bangs.
I am thankful it was not a lot worse…
Needless to say, no more scissors for 4 year old.
oops! I know that will probably be me one day..either son cutting daughter’s hair or daughter cutting her own.

humm… this story sounds awefully familiar
I am so sorry. It happened to me too. Apparently you also can’t trust that a 7 year old understands the phrase “put these up out of your sisters reach”. My son left his school box down and my 22 month old cut herself some bangs too.
